Well here are some of my first shots. Nothing to crazy on my server. I am not complete, still waiting on some tools from Harbor Freight, great prices, slow delivery. I did drill some half inch holes, they really tear stuff up, I believe you are better off using a punch and die.

I hate wires. I cannot tell you how happy this thread has made me, and the inspiration I have gotten from it. I am an EE and spent 9 years doing design, I am in the AF now. So I don't mind hacking things up at all. If you let the smoke out, that can cause problems though, no smoke yet.

I wanted to make wire runs as short as possible. This requires hacking the power supply up and re routing the cables. I replaced both fans in the power supply with some stealth fans made by Vantec. They are quieter and move the same if not more air. That is my unscientific opinion. Silence is of utmost concern to me, this is my server.


Ok, normally I would post some form of picture, but I have no clue as to how to do that. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
James
